2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · LG02 BAR

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 4 February 2026 at 93,470 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available annual tests from January 2022 to February 2026, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken clean record indicates consistent statutory compliance and suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to at least minimum test standard throughout. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old car. The record shows 69,563 miles at the 10 January 2022 test, rising to 78,745 by 24 January 2023, then 85,017 on 13 February 2024, 88,677 on 12 February 2025, and 93,470 on 4 February 2026. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 9,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. The sparse but clean history offers no evidence of neglected high-use periods or long dormant storage that might accelerate perished rubber or corroded brake lines. With no advisories ever raised on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, the MOT data alone reveals no recurring mechanical faults requiring caution. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe, as the tester may not have probed hidden corrosion on a clean-pass vehicle. Verify the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades that fall outside test failure thresholds despite showing wear. The absence of binding calipers, worn linkages, or emissions breaches across five years implies disciplined basic upkeep rather than deferred repair. At 93,470 miles the Fiesta remains mechanically credible on paper, though only a ramps-based check will confirm the underside matches the spotless test trail.
